Developing the epidemiological evidence base for eczema prevention [ 2018 - 2021 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Adrian Lowe (Principal investigator)

Brief description Eczema, food allergy, asthma and hay-fever are all common conditions that are a substantial burden for individuals and families. To prevent them, we need to know their causes, but these are not yet well understood. We need better studies to identify what is causing our children to develop these allergic diseases, and rigorous studies to prevent them. In this fellowship, I will explore the causes and consequences of these conditions and test ways to prevent children from developing them.
